Chapter 1000 Is Really Too Superb
After the operation of throwing the sugar shreds is completed, the next step is a more annoying cooking step.
That is, because the sugar threads of each rose fall from top to bottom, the petals are all covered in the sugar threads, but the bottom end of the calyx is empty and cannot be wrapped with the sugar threads. The overall look is, This silk rose is so beautiful.
However, as a cooking method, this herbal dish is not only beautiful, but the details are not perfect.
After all, for authentic shredded dishes, the ingredients are all oiled and rolled in syrup to ensure that all the corners are covered with sugar.
Only in this way will it taste sweet and crispy, with a particularly thick taste and a good texture.
Of course, this is just a minor fault that was picked out due to Fu Yu's relatively superb cooking skills.
Not a big deal.
Yao Shi saw it and felt that Fu Yu should first shake the sugar thread from the calyx and then turn it over to ensure that the entire flower was covered with sugar thread and the details were taken care of.
However, this also has certain drawbacks. The petals are easily compressed and deformed, and they will not be as complete and beautiful as they are now.
Li He didn't notice this problem.
His focus was originally on Fu Yu's technique of throwing sugar. When he saw Fu Yu put down the basin, took another spoon, dipped it in and started drawing, he asked out of curiosity: "Xiao Fu, aren't you good at throwing sugar? Yet?"
Fu Yu explained: "There is no sugar thread near the calyx, which will affect the taste when I taste it later. I plan to cover the entire flower with sugar thread."
In a word, several people watching around him unanimously looked at his operation intently.
Hard goods are coming!
An absolute classic operation!
At least, according to the current situation, it is very difficult to wrap sugar around the calyx.
Because the sugar thread has covered all the roses from top to bottom, like a net.
Now Fu Yu wants to pick up from the bottom of the net and fill in all the places that are not covered with sugar threads.
What does it take to do this?
Yao Shi stared at the roses wrapped in sugar, without any clue.
If he were to do it, there would be no way to wrap all the sugar around the calyx without damaging the shape of the flower.
Is it
Does Fu Yu really have any particularly good operating methods?
Fu Yu answered casually without stopping the movements of his hands.
He filled the syrup with a spoon and stretched the thread directly.
It's not that he was specifically showing off his skills. Using a spoon to do this step was really because the specialness of the universal chopsticks couldn't be counted on at this time.
However, there are certain advantages to using a spoon to shake the sugar, that is, the sugar strands pulled out are obviously thicker.
The thicker the sugar thread, the greater the pulling force. Although it is only a slight difference, it is enough for Fu Yu.
Fu Yu quickly started to shake the sugar strands. This time, he swung them sideways back and forth, pressing the sugar strands against the solidified sugar strands in front. Due to the force, the sugar strands were obviously displaced inward. Move it closer to the petals, exposing a small gap at the bottom.
The newly cast sugar silk fit perfectly and was tightly wrapped around the calyx, filling in the last gap.
When Fu Yu answered just now, he didn't go into detail.
Because this method of operation is very troublesome to explain, it is better to demonstrate it directly.
As long as they see the specific operation clearly, they will naturally understand how he wants to do it.
At first, everyone was a little confused when they saw Fu Yu's operation, but when Fu Yu demonstrated the operation with one hand, he wrapped all the roses perfectly in sugar!
Everyone was surprised to find that after this treatment, all the roses not only ensured the integrity of the petals, but also all the corners and crevices were entwined with sugar silk.
The details are handled to perfection, and the entire medicinal meal is truly completed at this time.
Everyone was completely stunned when they saw the cartouched roses that were officially placed on the plate!
It's amazing, isn't it?
Obviously this scene seemed very intuitive, but everyone felt that they didn't understand it at all.
How did Fu Yu do it?
How can the newly drawn sugar shreds be thrown onto the calyx of the rose from the previous batch of sugar shreds that have been cooled and formed?
Fu Yu didn't explain specifically, and no one asked any more questions.
After all, the people sitting here are all high-status people, and the lowest one is also a chef.
Now this is just a close-up observation, but I don’t even understand how to operate it.
It's really hard to ask this question.
Next, Fu Yu checked the stewing of the duck, put ginger and garlic into the pot, and added duck blood before cooking. After lightly stirring the stewed duck and duck blood Serve on top of the steamed lotus flower noodles.
When the lotus flower pastry was first made, I felt that the shape was very well designed. When it was actually steamed, I realized that both the size of the flowers and the space reserved for the dishes were all very precise.
The whole blooming lotus perfectly displays the cooked blood duck, which is beautiful and delicate.
The lotus blood duck was plated and sent to the front hall by the waiter.
Fu Yu looked at the fish paste that Tian Lei was stirring, added an appropriate amount of water, and asked Tian Lei to continue stirring.
He took advantage of this time to finish cooking the braised beef.
After the fish paste was stirred into small bubbles, it needed to rest for a while. Fu Yu took advantage of this time to pick some pea shoots.
He arranged all the pea seedlings neatly, paying attention to the equality of top and bottom, and the rules and order.
After preparing the pea shoots, Fu Yu added some water to the fish paste. This time, he personally stirred it evenly and added MSG and ginger juice.
While stirring, he ordered Tian Lei to pour cold water into the pot, while he stood by the pot, squeezing the fish paste into large walnut-like fish balls. After adding them to the pot, he gradually heated them over medium-low heat until they were ripe.
Boiling fish balls is a cooking operation that Chollima's chef often does.
During the process, the fishballs should be placed in the pot under cold water and allowed to mature over medium to small heat. The water in the pot should be kept in a boiling state, otherwise the fishballs will become old and broken easily.
Fu Yu is very experienced in this area and handles the details very well during operation.
Fish balls are very easy to cook. After the water boils, you only need to turn the fish balls over halfway to ensure that the entire fish balls are cooked uniformly.
To cook this medicinal meal, Fu Yu directly used the ready-made clear soup in the kitchen.
The music restaurant prepares a large amount of clear soup every day, specifically for use in cooking dishes.
And the clear soup they make here is also very authentic.
Use old hens, cook them over low heat, remove the oil from the chicken breasts and drumsticks, smash them into minced chicken, add water, salt and other ingredients.
Then strain the cooked chicken soup, remove the minced bones and meat, and skim off the floating oil and bring to a boil.
Pour the prepared chicken minced meat into the soup and mix well. After the turbid suspended matter in the soup is absorbed by the chicken minced meat, take out the chicken minced meat and wait until it is boiled before skimming off any impurities such as oil foam.
The soup made through such an exquisite process is the best among soups, it looks like white water but is clear and fragrant.Fu Yu poured the clear soup into the wok and put it on a high fire to bring to a boil.
Then gently put the fish balls into the pot, add refined salt, MSG, and selected washed pea shoots, and then put them into the pot.
Place cooked ham slices and bean sprouts on top of the fish balls, cross them into a triangle, place a cooked mushroom in the middle, and drizzle with cooked chicken oil.
When putting on the plate, Fu Yu moved faster and faster!
This was already the last dish on the entire table of medicinal meals. Fu Yu, who was already good at cooking medicinal meals, felt completely relaxed at this time.
For the plating operation, just use chopsticks to hold the bean sprouts and cooked ham slices. It seems casual, but in fact it is arranged very skillfully.
From the beginning of cooking to the end of cooking, he performed one after another, which made the scalps of the onlookers go numb.
Especially Yao Shi, watching Fu Yu cook a whole table of medicinal meals, suddenly felt like he was going back to his apprenticeship period when he was working hard on cooking.
Watching my chef cooking various exquisite dishes easily, I could only watch with a blank look on my face. After observing the whole dish, my mind went blank, but I still had to show on my face that I had taken it seriously and understood everything. expression.
What a similarity at this moment!
This kind of complicated mood is exactly the same!
Li He also had some experience in cooking. Although it was far different from Yao Shi, who stayed in the kitchen every day and never left his profession behind, he could not fail to recognize Fu Yu's skills. How exquisite is the cooking technique of medicinal food.
Yao Shi's attitude just now shows that Fu Yu's current cooking skills are very good.
Presumably, you can be invited to serve as a consultant to the National Medicinal Diet Research Association. How bad can this skill be?
However, even though he was prepared, Li He really didn't expect that Fu Yu would be so powerful now!
Fu Yu's previous operations again and again opened his eyes and at the same time, he suddenly became confused.
Are such outstanding talents really trained by your own school?
Calculating it carefully, Fu Yuman graduated less than two years ago.
How can an average person make such progress in such a short period of time?
The flawless cooking operation step by step and the perfect handling of details made Li He marvel in admiration.
No wonder he quickly became Chollima’s chef!
No wonder he won the national chef competition!
If you can’t make a name for yourself in the gourmet circle with this level, that’s really unreasonable!
Zhang Zhen watched Fu Yu finish cooking and subconsciously closed his eyes, as if this would prevent the knowledge he had just learned from spilling out.
It’s really too out of the ordinary!
Today's herbal cooking is really exciting. If you don't understand it, you really can't understand it.
The operations are obviously easy to understand at a glance, but I feel confused that I can't grasp them at all.
Forget it, wait until Fu Yu is free, and he must find an opportunity to exchange cooking experiences with Fu Yu.
At this time, among the few people observing, Tian Lei was the most relaxed.
His eyes shone brightly, the cooking operation just now was so exciting!
Really great!
He's full of that thought now.
However, if he had to list out what was so great about it?
He really couldn't tell for a while.
Anyway, I just feel that nothing is easy, everything is skillful.
However, if I learned something, it might be the creative presentation of two of the dishes.
It looks good, beautiful, just admire it, but it is impossible to reproduce it.
At least in a short period of time, he will definitely not be able to reach this level based on his own level.
It is precisely because of his very clear self-knowledge that Tian Lei simply observes the entire herbal cooking operation with an attitude of appreciation.
This is what the saying goes, ignorance and fearlessness!
After finishing cooking the medicinal meal, Fu Yu took off his apron, finished the finishing work himself, turned around and started washing his hands.
He also needs to go to the front hall to understand the customers' dining experience, and also needs to customize the dishes for the next medicated banquet based on the effect this time.
Li He was full of praise for Tao Yu's cooking skills, and Yao Shi looked happy and proud.
Fu Yu looked at them and couldn't help but smile.
Today's medicinal banquet was indeed prepared very smoothly, and even the most difficult to cook, the cartouched rose, was completed very well.
When he saw the finished product, he felt that this opportunity to practice teaching in the classroom was very worthwhile.
Li He said sincerely: "Xiao Fu, you are really good at cooking medicinal food!"
Fu Yu hurriedly said humbly: "Principal Li, this is mainly because I laid a solid foundation when I was in school. Thanks to the serious and responsible teachers, our school's teaching management is serious and strict."
Ah!
Li He felt refreshed after hearing these words.
Zhang Zhen and others couldn't help but turn to look at Li He. After all, it was a formal chef school, and it was indeed very good at teaching and educating people!
Fu Yu still wanted to go to the front hall, so after saying hello, he left the kitchen first.
Behind him, Zhang Zhen couldn't help but asked curiously: "Principal Li, who was Fu Yu's teacher when he was in school? He should also be a famous chef, right?"
Zhang Zhen naturally knows what kind of teaching staff his school has.
There are indeed many excellent teachers, but no matter how excellent they are, they are nothing more than ordinary chefs.
It is impossible for the really powerful chefs in the circle to serve as teachers in their chef schools.
So, Li He said with a smile: "No matter how good the teacher is, it mainly depends on the students. In the final analysis, Xiao Fu is indeed very talented, and he is also really hard-working. When I was in school, I always heard their teachers praise them. , I knew this kid was very diligent, but I didn’t expect that he would make even greater progress in such a short period of time!”
Hearing Li He's words, Zhang Zhen and others immediately felt convinced.
Compared with the rigid teaching in chef school, how can it be better than the experience accumulated by apprentices like them who cook in the store every day?
It’s all about laying the foundation and starting little by little.
What was Fu Yu like when he first came to the music restaurant, and what is he like now?
Small workers like the kitchen are beyond the reach of even the more talented Tian Lei.
What is true talent?
This is true talent!
Fu Yu is the typical type who likes cooking and is very talented. He met many noble people who supported and promoted him along the way.
How could such a person not make progress! (End of chapter)
